16. Considering what's left of Hamas right now isn't capable of doing much, the cause of death and starvation today is Israe

Sure Hamas launched the October 7th attacks, and sure that was in response to years of Israel settlement expansion and that was in response to some other violent acts, etc etc, so on and so forth for a very long time. Who fucking cares who started it at this point? It's utterly irrelevant. The killing today is being done by Israel. All of it needs to stop. Hamas needs to stop, Israel needs to stop, Hezbollah needs to stop, etc. The proverbial two wrongs don't make a right. Where does the violence end?

Self-defense should be proportionate to the threat and stop once the threat is over. Today, Hamas isn't a threat. But keep this up and a whole new bunch of people are going to be radicalized. Yes Israel had the right and responsibility to respond to the October 7th attack with violence. What Israel is doing is revenge not self-defense.

If we take what seems to be your position, we could have continued bombing Afghanistan for how long? Or bombing Germany and Japan after they weren't in a position to stop us. Sure you can say that Hamas still has somewhere between 20-50 remaining hostages, and so Hamas hasn't fully surrendered, but that is not justification for intentional starvation of millions of people. There were some Japanese soldiers who didn't surrender after WWII. We didn't nuke their hideouts.
